August 30 Fridays in the Park

Event Line-up - August 30, 2024 

• Terra Lightfoot (8:15 PM - 9:00 PM)

Terra Lightfoot is a Juno- and Polaris-nominated guitarist-singer-songwriter from Hamilton, Ontario. In 2020, she marked her first decade as a recording artist with the Speed, recorded by Grammy-winning producer Jay Newland at Memphis' legendary Royal Studios. That session also produced a cover of Leadbelly’s “Where Did you Sleep Last Night?”. In early 2022, Lightfoot launched her own label, Midnight Choir, with single “Sleepyhead.” Sixth album Healing Power (released Oct 13, 2023) reunites her with producer/engineer Gus van Go for a career-best outing.

• Charlie Edward (6:45 PM – 7:30 PM)

Charlie Edward is a 20 year old young gun originally from London, Ontario. ROCK N ROLL was what this kid was born to do. After some time in LA working with Foreigner’s Jeff Pilson, Charlie caught the attention of Marlon Young who discovered/produced Greta Van Fleet and plays guitar for Kid Rock. He has also worked with the likes of Garth Richardson (Rage Against the Machine), Robert DeLeo (Stone Temple Pilots), Luke Bentham (The Dirty Nil), Colin MacDonald (The Trews) and many more. Usually seen on the side-lines playing lead guitar for other acts or writing music in private, Charlie decided to take a risk and put it all out there after some encouragement from fellow musicians in California. He may be small in stature, but this kid will SET YOU STRAIGHT with his wide vocal range and monster guitar tones.

• The Matlockes 

Five talented young musicians from small-town Southern Ontario bringing new life to the rock scene with

original songs and covers alike. Together, we create a musical force to be reckoned with, pulling inspiration and covering songs from bands such as Metallica, Foo Fighters, Black Sabbath, Kaleo, and Greta Van Fleet.

Join us on our journey from the basement to the stadium, and never forget that we are the  Matlockes.
